This video is a pretty good watch, but it articulates what I've been saying for a while...
Incels are men with serious mental health issues that are the product of a sick social system.
Quick example to illustrate this. At my job one guy is designated with the task of restocking all the store's inventory. As the store grew and sold more and more merchandise, this one guy became overwhelmed by the increase of merchandise that needed to be put away everyday. Unable to keep up and overwhelmed his attitude soured. He started to clash with other store employees and even did things like block key isles with merchandise he was unable to stock as sort of a way of venting his frustration and anger. It was a clear cry for help.
When I brought this up to management, their response was "he needs to stop complaining, work harder, and do his job." It was completely unsympathetic and showed a total disregard to the new, harsh, seemingly insurmountable situation the employee was facing.
The same can be said of incels. Their rise and anger is the product of a broken social system that refuses to acknowledge or sympathize with their plight. Because they are men fueled by testosterone, they're statistically more likely to lash out in a dangerous, violent way. The sad part that gets overlooked is most of this violence is directed inward. Suicide is very real and disturbingly common among incels. While their attacks against women are highlighted almost nothing is said about how many of these men are committing suicide, because like the stocker at my store, people simply don't care. And incels are acutely aware of that.
The core issue is with the advent of social media and dating apps most women can now get male attention or even sex quite easily - from a small percentage of "high value" men" but most "low value" men can't, with any woman. This has created a disturbing discrepancy between how many women can find attention/sex vs how many men can find attention/sex. Not to mention a huge increase in STDs, but that's another topic. There's countless studies about how men handle being single worse then women, and so on. Basically, for most men to be mentally healthy, they need a female partner in their life.
Inceldom is a serious mental health issue. There's too many people writing it off as 'weird, crazy loner men'. To illustrate lets say one day you noticed on your body large black bumps filled with puss. Would you simply say 'ewww!' and try to pop the bumps or even just ignore them? Or would you be concerned in what caused the bumps in the first place, what was the underlining illness that caused them to form? You see, dismissing incels with 'ewww! go away!' is not treating the underlining problem. Doing so will not fix the situation and it likely will get worse.
The sad part is because incels are primarily men the issue will get little to no attention. Everyone is so concerned with women that men have largely been forgotten. Everyone knows most suicides are men, but people really don't care and little is done about it because its men, and men are suppose to just toughen up and deal with their problems.
So, what is the solution to incels?
This is where it gets sad. I honestly think nothing can be done. There's no way to roll back apps that promote hookup culture. No way to censor or shut down social medial that allows women to objectify themselves for attention. No way to shut down porn that men can pay for to have a woman pretend to be their girlfriend.
What faces the world is a bleak future of single, unhappy men and women, along with declining populations leading to economic ruin. Not to mention increasingly frequent violent attacks on the general population by angry lonely men.
But...if I were to try and do something to fix this, I would give huge tax breaks and incentives to couples who marry in their 20s. Basically try and get younger people to commit to eachother. By doing that you take more people off the market so there isnt as many choices for men or women which will force prospectors to be less picky in choosing a mate. Also by encouraging people to settle down with a marriage partner earlier you increase the chances of them having more children, which helps the population. Basically something has to be done to get more people to marry younger. The whole thing about making more women career workers who dont marry and have children sounded so cool and contemporary on paper but its been a complete failure that has caused all kinds of chaos.
This won't completely solve the problem, but solutions like that and something similar will be enough to avert whats coming. Disaster.
